Codebase for NUAV's DRover project in conjunction with NURover
To set up the repo and install needed dependancies, we use setup.py as follows
pip install -e .
This allows us to reference the drover package from wherever we want! It also
installs drover_main.py as a new terminal command which is neat.
The drover folder is set up in the format of a python module and includes
__init__.py files etc (python module reference).
When a packages is imported in a relative manner, you will see a period in
front of its name (ex import .camera).
We want to run drover_startup.sh on boot, so we shall create a unix service.
On DRover I actually discarded using mavproxy here as it takes a good chunk of CPU
